re: Too early to weed and feed?

You got to stay on top of button weed spray it whenever you see it. Celsius or msm work
It’s taken me 3yrs to get it under control don’t pull it up you wasting your time

There is no pre em for Virginia button weed. You can only treat it with post emergent. Celsius will work. Roughly $90 per 10oz bottle but it should work multiple seasons. Use at backpack rate. Should be clearly defined on the label.

But if you apply atrazine near a tree it will eventually kill it. Apply other chemicals if your lawn has trees in it. The better solution is to let your grass grow to its max height and cut it. Keep it there. If an obnoxious weed pops up kill it with post emergent. You folks are doing too much. It’s not good to try for perfection in your yard. It will look great if you simply have grass that’s mowed at the right height regularly.

Organic fertilizers, like Microlife, can be put down all year. If your soil is healthy, There is no need to weed and feed. Weeds can only grow is your soil quality is crap.

It will work, but you may need to make another application.

It only has 3% 2,4-D as an active ingredient.

Check the labels and try to buy the stuff with highest active ingredient %.

Most stuff homeowners use products that are 93%-98% other ingredients...which is water.
